I went out for a walk with a favorite old camera and very useful lens. I met a very attractive woman in front of Jo's Coffee...

 


My lens today was the older, Leica 35-70mm f4.0 R lens, made for the R system cameras but used on a Leica SL (original 2015 model). I was happy with the expression, the color and the nice focus fall off to the background. You meet some of the most interesting people at coffee havens in the middle of the afternoon.

The portrait was shot today around 3:52 in the afternoon. 

Now starting to wonder if the lens is a "cult" lens or not....

  1. ...and a very attractive portrait to match. Would love more back story... or was it a quicky "May I take your picture?", snap and walk away situation?

    1. No real backstory. Just looked and realized that this person looked really cool and asked if I could make her portrait. She gave me four frames and then smiled and joined her friends.
